It's time to reminisce...
I had a soft spot at Xmas every year for the Woolworths TV adverts that went on for an eternity "have a cracking Christmas"..
Also, recall watching "Stop, look and listen" at school which was always proceeded by a countdown clock.
Any other TV gems we may have forgotten? |

TV advert for Country Life butter, you'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife...
Those boys had clearly been smoking something when they made that, high as a kite  |

There is a DVD called "Charlie Says" on the Network label, which features all of the videos of that boy and his cat and the rest of the public information series, from 1950 something to 1990 something else.
An absolute classic. (Worst of all are the ads by...here comes the scary bit children...Rolf Harris, in that swimming pool and Jimmy Saville and his clunk-clicking every trip, samashing fellow). Where were the warnings to stay away from TV and Radio presenters? I ask you!
With other personalities like Petunia, Tufty, Ken Dodd, Dave Prowse/Green Cross Code man, Kevin Keegan to name a few they really need to bring out ads again like this for the poor little snowflake generation.
Examples that need to be done are: put your phone down when crossing the road: don't tell the whole world what you got for Xmas and are going away for NYE, then post it on TwitterBook unless you want burglars to visit: the shelves in TK Maxx are not litter bins, Keep Britain's stores tidy.
I love ads me. If you work in the ad trade PM me, I want to get paid for this kinda stuff. I've got my serving suggestions out on Pinterest.
Don't have nightmares kids.  |

I used to like Nanette Newman washing about 500 dishes with a couple of drops of Fairy Liquid.
I remind my wife about it every time I see her use half a bottle to wash a couple of plates!
She doesn't find it very amusing though ..... |

once upon a time opal fruits were made to make your mouth water; A mars a day helped you work rest and play, a milky way was the snack you could eat between meals without ruining your appetite, you would go to work on an egg, if you wanted paraffin you could think pink or
bom bom bom bom Esso Blue and hands that do dishes could be as soft as your face with mild green fairy liquid.

"Your predecessor was a miser, a skinflint, a penny pinching old scrooge!"
Quote from an ad from the late 80s or early 90s (I think) that is driving me and my friends crazy as NONE of us can remember what the ad was for.
Anyone?! |

Ad - Scotch video tapes with the skeleton singing and dancing about their lifetime guarantee.
Info films - Augustus Windsock, the world's oldest cyclist.
The weightlifter saying straight legs and bent back can cause injury.
The one warning of broken glass showing the kid running on the beach. |

From my favourite PIF:
Sir Isaac Newton told us why an apple falls down from the sky
And from this fact, it's very plain, all other objects do the same
A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup, invariably fall down, not up
And every common working tool is governed by the self-same rule
So when you handle tools up there, let your watchword be "Take Care"
If at work, you drop a spanner, it travels in a downward manner
At work, a fifth of accidents or more, illustrate old Newton's law
But one thing he forgot to add, the damage won't be half as bad;
if you are wearing proper clothes, especially on your head and toes
These hats and shoes are there to save the wearer from an early grave
So best feet forward and take care about the kind of shoes you wear
It's better to be sure, than dead, so get a hat and keep your head
Don't think to go without is brave; the effects of gravity can be grave. |

It was "I'm a secret lemonade drinker" for R Whites lemonade, though I don't get why Elvis Costello would remember it,
